In an effort to encourage new non-residential building projects, Clark County has announced it will commit to shaving about three weeks off the process for developers with projects ready for county review as soon as they apply.
To be eligible, projects must not be subject to delays caused by site plans that are tentative or incomplete when first submitted to the county.
“We hear every day that time is money,” said Community Development Director Marty Snell in a press release. “We will cut the time it takes for projects to clear our review process, but the plans must have addressed key issues, such as traffic impacts, storm-water management, habitat, wetlands and geological hazards, before we start the clock.”
Snell briefed the Clark County Board of Commissioners on proposed time-saving strategies for development review earlier this week. The commissioners concurred with his plan to start the pilot project immediately.
